摘要:

作为中国典型的生态脆弱区之一,研究黄土高原生态脆弱性的空间分布格局及控制因子,可为该地区生态系统修复和环境管理提供重要科学参考和理论支持。该研究依据IPCC生态脆弱性定义,以生态系统净初级生产力(net primary productivity,NPP)为指标,评估了2001—2020年黄土高原生态脆弱性的空间分布格局,并基于地理探测器定量分析了生态脆弱性的控制因子。结果表明,黄土高原生态脆弱性整体较高,中度及以上等级脆弱区域面积占比约61%,且脆弱性呈现出西北高东南低的分布格局。林地脆弱性最低,中度及以下等级脆弱区面积占比超过85%;草地、耕地和建设用地中度及以下等级脆弱区面积占比分别为59%、66%和76%;未利用地的脆弱性程度最高,中度及以上等级脆弱区面积占比超过86%。植被覆盖度和降水是影响生态脆弱性的主控因子,二者的解释力分别为0.59和0.48;其他因子对生态脆弱性的影响力整体较小(<0.18)。此外,不同影响因子间均存在较强的交互作用,特别是植被覆盖度与海拔之间,其交互作用的解释力高达0.66。该研究表明,基于NPP动态变化能够有效表征黄土高原地区生态脆弱性的空间分布格局,结果强调了黄土高原地区生态系统的高度脆弱性以及植被与降水的主控作用,可为干旱半干旱区生态系统修复与管理及其成效评估提供一定的理论和方法参考。

Abstract:

The Loess Plateau is one of the ecologically fragile areas in China. The knowledge of the spatial patterns of ecological vulnerability and its drivers of the Loess Plateau can provide important scientific reference and theoretical support for regional ecosystem restoration and management. Based on the IPCC definition of ecological vulnerability, the study analyzed the spatial distribution of the ecological vulnerability in the Loess Plateau from 2001 to 2020 with the ecosystem net primary productivity (NPP) as an indicator, and explored its driving forces based on Geodetector. The results showed that the ecological vulnerability was overall high in the Loess Plateau, with the vulnerability in the moderate level and above accounting for about 61% of the total land area. The ecological vulnerability was higher in the northwest than the southeast part of the Loess Plateau. Forests had the lowest vulnerability, with more than 85% of the area in moderate or lower vulnerability. The percentages of the areas with moderate or lower vulnerability were 59%, 66%, and 76% for grassland, cultivated land, and construction land, respectively. The unused land was the most vulnerable, with the vulnerability in moderate and higher levels accounting for more than 86% of the land area. Vegetation coverage and precipitation were the main driving forces of ecological vulnerability in the Loess Plateau, with explanatory power at 0.59 and 0.48, respectively. Other factors combined contributed little to the ecological vulnerability (< 0.18). In addition, there were strong interactions among different factors, especially between the vegetation coverage and altitude, the explanation power of which reached 0.66. This study suggests that the spatial pattern of ecological vulnerability in the Loess Plateau can be effectively characterized by the NPP dynamics. Our results highlighted the high ecological vulnerability in the Loess Plateau and the dominant roles of vegetation coverage and precipitation, with theoretical and methodological implications for ecosystem restoration, evaluation, and management in arid and semi-arid regions.
